* '''Nasociliary nerves''', which carry parasympathetic fibres from the oculomotor nerve to the iris, also provide sensory innervation to the globe.

=====Maxillary nerve (V2)=====
The maxillary nerve is a sensory nerve composed of '''general somatic afferent fibres'''. The maxillary nerve passes through the [[Skull and Facial Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Major Foramen and Canals|'''round foramen''']] and the [[Skull and Facial Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Major Foramen and Canals|'''alar canal''']]. It also runs across the wall of the '''pterygopalatine fossa''' and enters the '''infraorbital canal''' via the '''maxillary foramen'''. Whilst in the infraorbital canal, the maxillary nerve branch then branches further into the '''infraorbital nerve''' which supplies sensory fibres to the teeth. On exiting the infraorbital canal via the infraorbital foramen, the maxillary nerve branches again into the '''zygomatic nerve''' which supplies sensory fibres to the horn and to the '''pterygopalatine nerve''' supplying sensory fibres to the palate.
The maxillary nerve is a sensory nerve composed of '''general somatic afferent fibres'''. The maxillary nerve passes along the cavernous sinus and exits through the [[Skull and Facial Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Major Foramen and Canals|'''round foramen''']] before entering the [[Skull and Facial Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Major Foramen and Canals|'''alar canal''']]. It also runs across the wall of the '''pterygopalatine fossa''' and enters the '''infraorbital canal''' via the '''maxillary foramen'''. Whilst in the infraorbital canal, the maxillary nerve branch then branches further into the '''infraorbital nerve''' which supplies sensory fibres to the upper dental arcade. On exiting the infraorbital canal via the infraorbital foramen, the maxillary nerve branches again into the '''zygomatic nerve''' and '''pterygopalatine nerve''' supplying sensory fibres to the palate, lower eyelid, upper lip, nasal planum, and dorsal face.
